“I’m used to doing this show in the back rooms of pubs and at social spaces because it’s a fun, interactive show.”

The one-hour show will be staged at the Gregson Centre in Lancaster on Tuesday, June 17, and has also been accepted into the International Performance Festival, at the Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, the following day.

“Or it’s about the manipulation of information, depending on source.”

Mr Coates, co-founder of performance company and band Tin Tin and an associate artist with LEAP (Lancaster Emerging Arts Platform), has previously performed work in Manchester, Newcastle and London but is yet to stage anything in his hometown.

He said: “I really want to perform it in Bolton. I’ve never performed anything in Bolton.
